Collections or remote iterators, not both.
------------------------------------------

                 Key: RIVER-381
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-381
             Project: River
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: com_sun_jini_outrigger, net_jini_space
            Reporter: James Grahn
            Priority: Minor


JavaSpace05.contents() returns a remote iterator named "MatchSet".    
JavaSpace05.take(with collection) returns a collection.   

Implementation detail aside, the purpose of both methods is quite similar - 
returning multiple entries from space at once, either from the 
readIfExists-like "contents" method or the take-like take-with-collection 
method.

Thus it is preferable in my mind to have a standard return type across these 
methods and any future functionality of the same nature.   The community could 
indicate whether it prefers remote iterators or collections.
